Our goal in Aledo ISD is to enhance teaching and learning with technology, building future-ready students in a safe and secure digital environment. In this digital age, we ensure age-appropriate technology use across K-12 and balance screen time with other learning activities. To support these efforts, we provide resources to help families discuss digital citizenship and responsible online behavior at home.

What is a Digital Pawprint?
What is a Digital Pawprint?
A digital pawprint is Aledo ISD's take on a digital footprint. Just like a bearcat leaves pawprints, our digital pawprint represents the trail of actions and information we leave behind through our online activities. This includes things like posts on social media, comments on websites, photos and videos shared, and even online purchases. It's important to remember that any interaction or post we make online can be permanent. Even when we think something is deleted, like Snapchat messages, texts, emails, or other content, it can still be stored or shared by others. People can take screenshots, and companies may retain that information according to their policies.
Being mindful of our digital pawprint is crucial for creating a positive online reputation and practicing responsible digital citizenship, reflecting the values of our community.
